There're five members in my family—my parents , my grandparents, and me . My mother is a teacher. She teaches Chinese in our school. She likes music. My father is a teacher, too. He teaches art in the Guang Ming primary school. He likes going hiking. My grandmother is a worker. She likes reading books. My grandfather is a scientist. He likes playing chess. I am Betty. I'm in Shi Yan primary school. I like singing and dancing. Look! I have a happy big family. Isn't it?

    There is a river and a lake in my village.

    There is a bridge over the river.

    There are 3 buildings beside the lake. And there are many trees and plants behind the lake in the village. I like my village.

    Today is Sunday. We don't go to school. So after breakfast I go to a park with some good friends. In the park, there are many people. They are doing exercise. Some women are dancing. Some boys are playing basketball. Some girls are skipping. And some old people are walking and running. Why do they exercise so hard? Because they want to stay strong and healthy.

    Summer holiday is coming. Sally's father wants to visit Australia by plane because he thinks Australia is a big and wonderful country. But Sally's mother wants to visit Canada by car. She wants to go shopping in Canada. Sally wants to go to Sichuan because she can see her favourite animal pandas. She can eat delicious food in Sichuan, too. This summer holiday they will go to different countries!

    There are many people in the street. Two boys are running. A car is coming from behind. It is very dangerous! A girl is riding a bike and talking on the phone. It is not safe. A young man is waiting for the green light. That is safe.

    Many children are playing in the park. Some are playing football and some are jumping rope. Some boys are swimming in the lake. That is dangerous.

    We often eat beef, chicken, fish and mutton at home. We never eat pork. Do you know why? Because we are Muslims. My friends never say "pig" or "pork" to me. I like my friends.

    I want to be strong, just like an ox. I like eating chicken and beef. They are tasty. I also like dumplings and I can make dumplings. They are traditional Chinese food.

    I also like to drink Coke. But my mum doesn't want me to drink it. She says it is not good for me. She gives me milk. I want to be a tall boy in my class! I like milk now. I drink milk every day.
